Debian 12 minimal installation with i3 window manager (part2: i3 & i3blocks configuration)

In this video we set and configure the i3blocks bar as the status bar of our i3 window manager. We create a clean config file where we add a default disk module and a web browser launcher as simple examples to inspire and help you create your own configurations following this basic config.

Also, we change the names of i3 workspaces and assign a dedicated workspace to open our file manager each time we launch it. Throughout the video we show a couple of i3 default keybinds such as logout or restart i3.

You can find a more detailed guide about setting up i3wm, i3blocks and some system preferences (keyboard layouts, display wallpaper and more) in my github repo (https://github.com/linuxnomas/i3i3blocks-configs).
